Sorry to say, but this site has been so depressing for a few days. I thought I'd ask an average, everyday question....to make us all feel a little more normal today.
I made Eggplant Lasagna, and my BIL and SIL are coming for dinner. They leave for Cali tomorrow to see their beautiful grand daughter.
Sorry, sometimes we just need some REGULAR conversation.......or at least THIS caregiver does.
I love lentils. I make soup. How do you do sloppy joes? Sounds interesting.
and garlic rolls.
Decadent chocolate cake for dessert.
You and I get that food is very much part of the culture of a vicinity. People who eat in fast food chains obviously don’t get that. So glad you were able to experience eating at many different places.
I had to look up peameal bacon. That is very different from our bacon. It looks good though. I love trying regional foods when visiting somewhere.
Years ago, my husband and I went on a trip with friends. Oh my gosh, we both said that we would never travel with them again. The only place they wanted to eat was McDonalds! My husband refused so we ate separately the whole trip!
Why would anyone do that? They were extremely frugal! Downright cheap! Why go to other places without trying their local dishes? That’s part of the fun!
Sounds yummy! Hubby cooked for us. 😊. Grilled pork, baked potato and salad.
You have called to mind for me fond memories of snow cream.
We use to do that too.
My great-great-great-aunt (grandfather's aunt) told me about making snow creme with maple syrup when she was a child traveling by wagon to Oregon and kept _real_ maple syrup to make snow creme as long as she kept house. Last week, I made a batch with maple syrup and a batch with sugar. Back in November I made a batch with honey. It's all good, but the different sweeteners give a little variance in flavor. I have used chocolate syrup or cooled cocoa to make chocolate snow creme too.
What is snow cream?
I love homemade chili. I never cook it because my husband doesn’t eat it. Do you do it on the stove or crockpot? Is yours spicy or mild? Beans or no beans? Are there prizes at your church for the winner? Now I want homemade chili. I love chili in a baked potato or an omelette. Yum!
Including the grated parmesan and romano cheeses, cooked slowly so the cheese is not burned.
I gave up ordering pizza and meatballs /w spaghetti from the Italian restaurant because the meatballs had lunch meat/salami in them. I could tell by the taste.
However, if I ever make my own meatballs again, I might try a little pumpkin for moisture. Sounds good to me. And, I am not Italian.
